military questions about college and deployment, please read!?

Question

Hey all. Is there a way my husband can go to college locally and be non-deployable? He's in the national guard reserves. we were told there was a way, but cant remember how or what the program was called. please help! any info would be useful!

Answer 1

it's called College First

Answer 2

Let me get this straight . . . your husband wants to collect educational benefits from the American taxpayers by serving in the National Guard or Ready Reserves, and you are looking for a way out of his end of the contract???

Sorry, but you can't have it both ways.

If he's afraid of being deployed, under hardship, or he has moral reasons in play, tell him to do the honorable thing: get out of the military, pay back the money, and find some other way to finance his education.

Answer 3

Once he graduates, though, there's no promise if he will or will not deploy. If they need him ,they will send him.....wherever & whenever.
When I was in college, just a few years ago, though, there was one guy who was in the National Guard reserves & his unit got called. He had to go & they didn't care if he was in school or not, so,he had to drop out mid-semester. Just make sure you guys know the facts before making any choices.

Answer 4

Depends on his MOS, and also depends on what branch he is in. If he wants to be certain he not get deployed, he can join ROTC, however your contract is different with them, and alot of the perks from the reserves and Guard are eliminated (you can't double dip). The ROTC contract is generally 4 years of active duty post graduation, and then 4 years of inactive ready reserve (which depending on his MOS, could have him deployed just as much as if he was active). Hope this helps.

Answer 5

ROTC.

If he were a cadet serving with a National Guard unit, he is non-deployable.
